How To Deposit ETH

What are gas costs?

Gas fees are essentially transaction fees on the Base network. They are paid in a tiny unit of Ether (ETH) called gwei (equivalent to one billionth of an ETH). These fees act as a reward for validators who maintain the Ethereum network by verifying and processing transactions.

  • Why fees exist: Gas fees compensate validators for their computing power used to process transactions. Without them, there would be less incentive to secure the network.

  • Price Fluctuation: Gas fees are not fixed, they change based on network traffic. During high congestion periods, fees can spike due to high demand for processing transactions.

Think of gas fees like a toll road. The busier the road (network), the higher the toll (fee) you might pay to get through quicker.
